hiding unused disks?

Post by TonyPham »

Currently I have one harddrive at C and another at G but to display both I have to display C, D, E, F, and G. How do I hide D-F since they all don't exist? I'm currently using Rain Meter with the gnometer theme.

You could test if the measures return some unique value when the specified drive doesn't exist (perhaps total space = 0). Then you could create ifActions that hide and show the meters based on that value.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

You could use the Gnometer skin for 2 drives and set accordingly ...
